2002 valve cover gasket?

ponypower · 07-26-2002, 04:43 PM

Just wondering if anybody has had this problem, and might be able to shed some light on the situation?

My 2002 GT is the shop for the first time after only 6500miles for a leaking valve cover gasket on the right side. And of course i'm like what the f***, this thing is like brand new, like 8 months new. To top everything off after they take off the cover they find that the gasket they have in stock will not fit an '02, as the bolt pattern of the gasket is different, rather the way the gasket goes around the bolts. So then I find out that the gasket is on back order until sometime in Aug (yea right) more like Sept knowing my luck.

Anyway is anyone familiar with this change, hell the dealer didn't even know until they tried the '01 gasket?

Anybody know wher to get one sooner? My car is just sitting at the dealer...............

Thanks Works
